Road Down the Presidental Lane

I picked up a political button the other day from a corner store near work. It was handmade and obviously made to quickly capitalize over the Election 2008 frenzy. There is something funky about the handmade quality of this button in this overly designed election. So I thought that I'd share some of my favorite historical buttons with you today. Look at them from a design standpoint, seeing them for what they represent about the past culture. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
